REGION POLL
MISSION, KS --- The Moravian College women’s soccer team has been ranked fifth
in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America Mid-Atlantic Regional poll
released Tuesday afternoon, the highest-ever ranking for the Greyhounds.
The Greyhounds, who are 4-0 on the season, were not ranked in the first poll of the season
released on September 6th. However, Moravian’s 2-0 victory over previously fourth-ranked
the University of Mary Washington, 2-0 last Sunday, jumped the Greyhounds into the rankings.
Messiah College sits atop the region with a 2-0 record, and the Falcons are followed
by The College of New Jersey (4-0, Johns Hopkins University (5-0), Rowan (NJ) University
(5-0) and the Greyhounds. Rounding out the top ten after Moravian are Haverford College
(4-1), Mary Washington (3-2), Elizabethtown College (4-0), Wilkes University (4-0) and
York College of Pennsylvania (4-0).
In addition to the victory over Mary Washington on September 11th, Moravian has matches
scheduled with Messiah on October 15th, Haverford on October 5th, Elizabethtown on October
8th, Wilkes on September 17th and York on October 27th.
The Greyhounds will host the University of Scranton on Wednesday, September 14th in a
